Bupleurum& Cinnamon Formula

Bupleurum& Cinnamon Formula, as one of the classic prescriptions in Chinese medicine, originated from the Treatise on Typhoid Fever, is a compound preparation widely used in Chinese medicine clinics.

The main efficacy of  Bupleurum& Cinnamon Formula is reflected in the treatment of external wind-cold, internal heat and depression, and hyperactivity of liver yang. First of all, this formula can reconcile the Shaoyang, which is effective in treating the symptoms of Shaoyang disease, such as cold and heat, bitter fullness in the chest, and taciturnity in eating and drinking. Among them, Chai Hu, as the monarch drug, is bitter, pungent and slightly cold in nature, with the efficacy of dispersing the liver and relieving depression, elevating the Yang and lifting the trap, which is capable of dispersing the evils of Shao-Yang and harmonizing the qi of the exterior and the interior. Gui Zhi, on the other hand, can sweat and relieve muscles, warm the meridians and channels, and help Yang to transform qi. Combined with Chai Hu, it can enhance the effect of relieving surface and dispersing cold, and effectively relieve fever, headache, and lack of sweating caused by wind-cold infection.

Secondly,  Bupleurum& Cinnamon Formula also has the effect of harmonizing Ying and Wei. Gui Zhi Tang itself has the effects of relieving the muscles and releasing Qi, harmonizing Ying and Wei, while Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang adds Chai Hu and other herbs on this basis, so that the formula can harmonize Ying and Wei and at the same time, it can also dredge up the liver and relieve depression, treating the symptoms of swelling and pain in the two hypochondriacs caused by liver depression and stagnation of Qi, low food intake, vomiting, and diarrhea. This harmonizing effect not only helps to restore the normal physiological functions of the body, but also strengthens the body's immunity and improves resistance to diseases.

In addition, Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang has multiple effects such as antipyretic and analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation. Ingredients such as cinnamon sticks and peony in the formula have antipyretic and analgesic effects, which can relieve fever, headache, joint pain and other symptoms. On the other hand, ingredients such as scutellaria and licorice have anti-inflammatory effects, which can reduce inflammatory reactions and relieve discomfort caused by inflammation. Meanwhile, components such as Chaihu and Scutellaria baicalensis in Chaihu Guizhi Tang also have immunomodulatory effects, which can enhance the body's immunity and resistance, helping to prevent and treat a variety of diseases.

In clinical practice,  Bupleurum& Cinnamon Formula has a wide range of applications and is commonly used in the treatment of colds, fever, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and many other diseases. It not only relieves the patient's symptoms, but also regulates the balance of yin and yang in the body and promotes recovery.
